RACE On
Demo to be had from today.
New York, October 7, 2009: Viva Media will release a demo version of the new racing simulation RACE On tomorrow. The DEMO puts gamers behind the wheel of two juiced-up cars: the Dodge Challenger SRT8 and the Seat Leon TDI. The 681MB demo has two game modes and features two of the world’s most renowned tracks.
The RACE On demo presents two game modes: “Racing Event” and “Time Attack.” While in “Racing Event” mode, players can try their hand at a whole weekend of racing, including training, qualifiers and the race itself. In “Time Attack” mode, they must achieve the fastest lap around a circuit. The mouthwatering demo is designed to give players a taste of the excitement and thrill of the most realistic racing simulation ever.
The demo can be downloaded at major media outlets starting on Thursday, October 8th, 7am EST.
THE RACE IS ON!
In RACE On, PC players can choose from 39 unique cars from 17 vehicle classes - over 450 variations are possible! 27 variants of 21 racing tracks guarantee hours of unparalleled gaming fun. Glamorous raceways such as Laguna Seca and Road America feature on the impressive list of tracks. Drivers can compete against up to 24 AI drivers in the 17 different race classes, and can of course burn rubber against real players online. The new Dual Ghost mode offers players two ghost opponents to help improve both your own lap times and those of your opponent. An ultra-realistic physics engine and a dynamic weather system that can change during a race, provides a totally authentic race atmosphere. Compulsory pit stops add an extra tactical component to the already exhilarating game play experience.
